was no grass here, but we drove
our stock three miles down the
river and found some. We were
nearly all day getting our wagons
over the river. The ferry boat was
an old wagon bed, and we had to pay
$8.33 for each wagon, and do all
the work ourselves.
Jerry con
cluded to let the stock stay where
they were for another night, so
we pitched our tents and reloaded
our wagons,
Some of the boys
went down to watch the stock
through the night and to drive
them up in the morning. It was
very cold and disagreeable all the
time that we were here—no one

June 18—Started late and trav-

road, after which we crossed a

good grass. Here plenty of Snake

was necessary. The train slowed
up at Turner for Ishmael, who is
in tho Southern Pacific signal ser

his feet slipped and the left limb
was thrown under the wheels of
the moving train. He was hurried
to the hospital in Salem and word

a grove of balsam or fir trees,
which were very pretty, and made
quite a change in the scenery,

barren hills and hollows since we
left the Missouri river. Jerry was
out hunting, but could not get a
shot at anything, although we
saw some elk and antelope. We
went down some very steep hills,
and came to Bear river, and
camped on good grass, having seen
many dead cattle along the road

Harrisburg Bulletin: One of the
best informed, as well as one of
the most successful farmers of this
vicinity, recently told the writer
that the time is hero now to take
on new methods on the farm. The
old system is not producing the
desired results, This reminds us
of the farmer near Cottage Grove
who grew a crop of vetch, and
plowod it under, It took nerve
to do - that, but every farmer
knows he should do the same thing,
This Cottage Grove farmer got re-
suits. His next crop of vetch was
a whopper, the envy of all his
neighbors—and he went out one
day and plowed it under, Now he
lives in peace and plenty and has
to spare. In our plea to the gov
ernment for aid for the farmer let
us have the loan of a couple of
crops of vetch and then pray to
tho Almighty for nervo enough to
plow them both under.
Magladry Says Solons
Are High-Minded
And Intelligent
Senator Magladry, of this county,
was rather caustic in a recent ad
dress before tho Eugene parent
teacher association when he re
ferred to newspaper stories to the
effect that the legislature was made
up of a lot of kids. Tho Benator
said that tho average member is an
intelligent, high - minded
person
striving to do his utmost for the
public good and gotting little
thanks for doing so.
Twenty-three educational meas
ures handled by tho legislature at
its rocent session wero explained
by Magladry.
He held up the measures as a
fair sample of what was done by
the legislature this term. Similar
bills wero introduced for almost all
branches of state activity, he de
clared.

Dan Patton, aged 26, was ar
rested here Saturday night by
Doputy Sheriff Turnbull and Spe
cial Agent Kletzing on an alleged
violation of tho liquor laws and
was taken to tho county jail.
Tho specific charge was that of
selling.
There was considerable excite
ment upon tho streets of the city
nt the time of the arrest, promi
nent citizens being named as those
to whom Paton was mnking a sale.
No ono except Patton, however,
was placed under arrest. A large
audience gathered to watch the
officers pick up the bits of a
broken bottle from north First
alley, where it was said the sale
was being made whon interrupted.
Cleaning Business Sold.
The Hoffman Cleaners business
has been leased by the owner, D.
W. Weir, to Mrs. Anna Dodd, who
has been with the Owl cleaners.
Mr. and Mrs. Weir left today for
Corvallis, where they expect to
make their home for tho present.
Solution of Puzzle No. 21.
Such Instruments on the
Entire Coast.
The Bank of Cottage Grove ha.4
received fixtures and material for
the complete remodeling of i).
bank building and banking room.
The contractor, however, does not
expect to be able to commence
work before tho latter part of thiB
month.
The ontire front of the building
will bo remodeled and the cornice
will bo Blightly raised. New glass
will be put into the entire front
between large pillars of art stone,
Smaller pillars will support the
door of the main entrance, which
will be moved to the sidewalk
lino and to the centor of the bank-
ing room.
At the corner of the building
will be placed an electric tubular
chime clock, which will strike the
hours, quarter hours and half hours.
The music from this will bg dis
tinct enough to be heard over a
large part of the city. This will
be controlled by a master clock
insido the banking room and an
additional clock will be operated
by the name mechanism. This will
be the only clock of its kind in
this section and one of the few
on the coast.
Insido the banking room all the
furniture and fixtures will be
changod. The cage will be moved
back a distance from the entrance
and tho space between the entrance
and the tellers’ windows will be
used as office space for the offi
cers of the bank. This space will
bo open except for a counter over
which business may be transacted.
There will be another tellers’
window, making a total of three.
Tho fixtures will be embellished
with a marble base for a distance
of four feet from the floor.
A room for customers will be
provided at the rear of the count
ing room and convenient to a cus
tomers’ vault which is to be pro
vided by dividing the present vault
space. An entrance for customers
will be provided on the oast side
of the vault, to which the present
vault door will be moved. A new
door has arrived to replace the
one now in use.
These improvements are being
made with the idea in mind of
later extending the banking room
oast to take in the space now occu
pied by the groceteria.
When
this extension of space is made, the
vault will be moved from its pres
ent location to the southeast eor-
nor of the room and a director’s
room will be provided in the south
west corner, the counting room be
ing extended to take the spaco
now occupied by the vault.
The improvements soon to bo
started will transform the bank
building and will give Cottage
Grove another banking homo the
equal of any to bo found anywhoro
in a city of thia size and superior
to the majority in cities of thia
class.
Tho officials of the bank are
confident that an era of prosperity
is in store for the city and they
are preparing to meet it in a
manner that will be a credit to
the city.
Small Blaze at VanOsdel Home.
An incipient blaze in the roof
of the porch of the A. L. VanOsdel
home on south Second street Sat
urday afternoon was extinguished
with a garden hose before any
serious damage was done. A neigh
bor discovered the flames and in
formed Mrs. Osdel, who quickly
got the hoso into action. It was
thought that a piece of burning
paper had dropped on the porch
and started the blaze as paper
was being burned in a stove at
the time.
